Couldn't even get my damn name right in a reply to an email that both has my name in it and an email address using my name.

I sometimes wonder if people like her will ever realise how vile a response this is and if they do, whether they'll even care.

Dear Joan, I apologise for the delay in getting back to you – and thankyou for taking the time to get in touch. On a per capita basis, Australia is very generous when it come to taking in asylum seekers. It is right and proper that we protect our borders and retain the right to determine who and when people come to Australia. The Coalition will ensure our borders are secure, return migration to sustainable levels, and ensure our migration program relieves pressure on housing, infrastructure and services. When the Coalition was in government we introduced Operation Sovereign Borders – which continues to be supported by the current Albanese Labor Government. Careful management of borders and those seeking asylum will protect our sovereignty – and will continue to ensure that Australia prospers : Anne Webster MP - Migration Amendment (Strengthening Sponsorship and Nomination Processes) Bill 2024 - Second Reading Speech This issue is now a matter for the Nauru government. I seek to respect the autonomy of Nauru, and support working with them as they seek to ensure people have a destination country to settle in other than the country they fled from. Kind Regards Anne

@safety.bsky.app so you'll be banning all the Zionist and Nazi accounts then?

This just today from Australia Post.

Things are definitely going well in the US it seems.
United States of America 26 August 2025: As a result of recently announced changes to import tariffs for postal items sent to the US and Puerto Rico, Australia Post will temporarily partially suspend postal services to the United States and Puerto Rico, effective 26 August 2025 until further notice. This response is in-line with action taken by numerous postal operators internationally.

@antoinettelattouf.bsky.social a tale in two podcasts:
Screenshot of Apple Podcasts "Latest episodes" list with two podcasts and their episode descriptions as follows:- ABC News Daily: Why Netanyahu calls Australia 'shameful' In a move that will further anger the Israeli leader, Australia will recognise a Palestinian state in September following declarations from the UK, France and Canada. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the situation in Gaza has gone beyond the world’s worst fears. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu says recognising Palestinian statehood is a win for Hamas and he’s defending his decision to expand the war in Gaza. Today, ABC Middle East correspondent... The Guardian - Full Story: Australia's plan to recognise Palestine The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has confirmed his government will join other allies to formally recognise Palestinian statehood. Chief political correspondent Tom McIlroy speaks to Nour Haydar about why the Australian government is making this move now, and if it will change anything for the Palestinians living under attack in Gaza

What is 'whataboutism' for 900, Alex?

This was a comment made on this article which was added to the daily The Conversation email this morning: theconversation.com/is-israel-co...

What's worst about this is she knows EXACTLY what she's doing by saying this with this framing.
"I would be very interested in the views of the legal and genocide experts as to whether they consider the massacre by Hamas on 7 October, 2023 and the subsequent torture and murder of the hostages they captured to be genocide too?" — Pnina Levine, Deputy Head of Curtin University Law School.

"No one can be authentically human while he prevents others from being so. Attempting *to be more* human, individualistically, leads to *having more*, egotistically, a form of dehumanization. Not that it is not fundamental *to have* in order to *be* human. Precisely because it *is* necessary, some men's *having* must not be allowed to constitute an obstacle to others' *having*, must not consolidate the power of the former to crush the latter." — Paulo Freire, 'The Pedagogy of Oppression.'

I think this might be the issue I have with leftist populist thinkers and politicians. Sometimes I feel as if they're talking at rather than with those who they seek to lead.
"Attempting to liberate the oppressed without their reflective participation in the act of liberation is to treat them as objects which must be saved from a burning building; it is to lead them into the populist pitfall and transform them into masses which can be manipulated." — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed.

First page of the first episode of a Star Wars fanfic series I wrote as part of a project to teach myself screenwriting.

#StarWars #FirstPageFriday #ScriptSky
A planet of purple clouds, white oceans, and black lands, orbits a giant red star, in a galaxy far, far away.... EXT. FOREST OF GIGANTIC MUSHROOMS - NIGHT Her boot SQUELCHES into a moonlit mushroom cap as she lands. YHALLA OONA (31), a slight, scruffy woman of determined fervour, scrambles towards a cliff face covered in vines. She sports a rugged and practical black outfit, a white utility belt, capacious backpack, and no weapons. A dozen HUNTERS, humans in dark tactical gear, pursue her. One stops and aims his RIFLE at her. An electric whine RISES as red energy grows to a softball size at the barrel’s tip. A red explosion FWOOMS behind Yhalla and propels her over the next mushroom cap. She falls and THWOMPS atop a cap below. She groans and looks toward a ledge on the cliff face before her, just one jump away. She hauls herself up and runs. YHALLA Are you *trying* to kill me?! A hoversled WHIRS behind the Hunters. On the sled is the brown-robed, weathered and wizened, LOR SAN TEKKA. LOR Abandon this foolish quest and you won’t have to find out! Yhalla vaults to the ledge. She lands a foot but teeters backwards and TUMBLES rocks to the undergrowth below. FWOOM! A wave of red energy SLAMS her into the cliff face. She holds herself up with vines as she gulps for air. She finally breathes and immediately looks to her goal above. One by one the Hunters settle on caps behind her. Each aims their rifle at her and grows a softball of red energy at their barrel tips, producing a succession of electric WHINES. The hoversled WHIRLS to a stop ahead of the firing squad. LOR End of the line, my dear. Perhaps instead, a cup of Gatalentan tea? Yhalla chuckles, relaxes and turns to face Lor. YHALLA It has been a hard day’s work. In a casual manner, Yhalla stretches and cracks her joints.

I feel like there's something missing...
From the original picture there are images of characters from Star Wars spliced together starting from the left with Syril Karn, Dedra Meero, Lio Partagaz, Orson Krennic, Darth Vader and Darth Sidious. The text, "There's always a bigger fish," is along the bottom. Added to the right of Sidious is Karis Nemik.

So this along with the 'woke pope' thing is so weird to me 'cause if any of it were true, like... do these people not realise how many instant converts to Catholicism there would be?

"Woke trans Pope? SIGN ME UP!"

And yet for some reason that these people can't seem to grasp, that's not happening.
